The compact and lightweight design makes the AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR extremely portable even when attached to the camera. This carry-anywhere lens is suitable for capturing spreading landscapes as well as diverse scenes encountered during travel, etc.

Superior optical performance for high image quality

The latest optical system provides high-resolution images across the entire frame even at the maximum aperture throughout the zoom range. Three aspherical lens elements are incorporated to minimize various types of aberrations, realizing excellent image quality despite such a compact and light body.

Image blur caused by camera shake is effectively reduced by the Vibration Reduction function. The AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR provides an effect equivalent to a shutter speed 3.5 stops* faster based on CIPA Standard, which is a measurement method of blur-correction effect common to most camera/lens manufacturers.

Quiet and smooth AF operation is achieved via the adoption of a stepping motor for AF drive

A stepping motor built into the lens contributes to quiet and smooth focusing operation, which is also advantageous for movie recording.

Note: Because an AF-P lens incorporates a stepping motor, the number of compatible cameras is limited. Even for compatible cameras, firmware update may be required.

Focus ring with refined operability

Although it is an AF lens, the focus ring provides the appropriate torque to realize comfortable manual focus operation.

Close-up capability with a short focus distance

With the minimum focus distance of 0.22 m and the maximum reproduction ratio of 0.17×, you can approach significantly closer to subjects to effectively capture the scene with a wide background and dynamically rendered subject.
